[18 medium] Situation: An underqualified systems administrator has just tried
to make a new user account for a Bob Simon using the following
commands from the "root" account. How is the command in error?
# cd /home; mkdir "Bob's home directory"
# echo "Bob Simon:gandalf:0:0::/dev/tty:compress -f" > /etc/passwd
error description
----- ------------
H The argument to mkdir is not a valid name for a new directory.
I The login name is invalid, and the password unmatchable.
P All pre-existing information in the password file has been lost.
U Bob's UID would have made him "root".
T The /dev/tty field is only valid on directly-connected terminals.
[a] H, and T.
[b] I, P, and U.
[c] P, U, and T.
[d] H, I, and P.
[e] H, P, and T.
[19 medium] The best description of the operation performed by the command
"rm foo" upon the existing filename "foo" is...
[a] Unlink - the file has one (of possibly several) links to it cut.
[b] Erase - the file contents are overwritten with nulls.
[c] Remove - the file is removed from the disk.
[d] Truncate - the file length is reset to zero.
[e] Purge - the file is sent to /dev/null.
[20 medium] Situation: Suppose "foobar" is a software package available on
the Internet. A user somewhere on the Internet wishes to obtain and use
this package. He does not yet know the appropriate archive to contact.
The command sequence he will follow will probably be...

[b] archie, cd, ftp, vi, make, tar, foobar
[c] ftp, archie, vi, make, tar, cd, foobar

[21 medium] A hypothetical utility program called "foobar" might be configured
at runtime in several ways. It is not a graphics program. The most likely
means of configurations are...
method description
------ -----------
E An environment variable named "FOOBAR".
P A pseudo-device file called "/dev/foobar".
X A file, ".Xdefaults" or ".Xresources", in the user's home directory.
K Reconfig of the system kernel with an entry for the new package.
F A file called ".foobarrc" in the user's home directory.
[a] E and F.
[b] E and P.
[c] F and P.
[d] F and X.
[e] P and K.
[22 medium] Certain control characters are typically used in Unix to achieve
certain ends, such as indicating end of input, suspending a job,
interrupting a job, and so on. Select the correct line in the
following table...
suspendend-of-file interrupt erase
------------------ --------- -----
[a] ^s^f ^i or ^k ^e or ^b
[b] ^z^d ^c or ^? (del) ^? or ^h
[c] ^q^e ^a or ^\ (fs) ^d or ^u

[e] ^p^t ^q or ^. (so) ^z or ^k
[23 hard] Situation: A very clueful user just had a program crash in a subdirectory,
but isn't sure which one. She wishes to remove the core file from the crash,
along with any earlier core files that may have accumulated, without having
to go looking for them. This particular version of Unix does not make
"core.program" files. She should...
[a] ls -R | awk '/core/ {print "rm -rf "$0}' | sh
[b] find . -name core -type f -exec ls -l '{}' ';' -exec rm -if '{}' ';'
[c] rm -rf core */core */*/core */*/*/core */*/*/*/core */*/*/*/*/core
[d] rm -i `find . -print | grep core`
[e] find . -name core -exec echo -n rm' ' -print | sh -x
[24 hard] Situation: A Unix guru with a *warped* sense of humor has just written a
program to (1) develop a BNF for arbitrary input text, and (2) dump the
resulting parser. Likely program names include:
[a] dad, dd, develop+dump.
[b] buffalo, ee, yay.
[c] bnf, nyacc, yadd.
[d] bar, foo, qux.
[e] dump, mkparser, parse.
[25 hard] Situation: A very clueful user wishes to catenate the top lines of
every file in the current directory (not subdirectories) to standout
output. She uses...
[a] { for f in `find -type f -print` ; do head -1 $f ; done ; }
[b] head -1 *
[c] cat `head -1 *`
[d] { for f in .* * ; do if [ -f $f ] ; then head -1 $f ; fi ; done ; }
[e] head -1 `ls -dF .* * | grep -v /`
